News ReleaseJanuary 28, 2015

January 28, 2015 – Sacramento-area young professionals can
enjoy trivia and beer while raising money to increase access to
healthy drinking water at Sacramento elementary schools. United
Way Young Leaders Society’s Brews & Brains will take place
6:30-8:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 at Yolo Brewing Company, 1520 Terminal
Street, West Sacramento. Guests will enjoy rounds of trivia and
beer, food from Fusion Eatz food truck, networking, music and
more. Tickets are $20 and guests must be age 21 or older. To
purchase tickets, visit www.yourlocalunitedway.org/young-leaders-society.

“This is a great opportunity to come out and have some fun while
networking and helping local kids get healthier by drinking more
water,” said Dustin Humes, chair, United Way Young Leaders
Society.

The event raises funds for United Way Young Leaders Society’s
Hydration Station Initiative, which will fund the purchase and
installation of hydration stations in target schools, provide
every student at the school with a reusable water bottle, and
educate students on the importance of drinking water and using
water resources wisely during the California drought.

Thirty-two percent of youth in the region are overweight or
obese so United Way California Capital Region and its partners
are working to reduce the number of overweight people in the
region by 20 percent. To assist in reaching this goal, the United
Way Young Leaders Society is focusing on ensuring students have
access to water as a healthy beverage, and education about why
water is such a valuable resource to protect. The group’s goal is
to raise $25,000 for the project in 2015. To make a donation or
